I Just Won My Reward Today
  Now let’s see, do I go to 7 Eleven or to Coffee Rush? Oh that’s right, Coffee Rush is having that crazy contest. Today if I answer correctly the question of the day I might hear the words “Congratulations!! You just won a Free Cup of Coffee.” So off I went and pulled into the driveway. The question of the day: Who was it that invented the eye glasses….was it the
1. Americans, 2. Germans, 3. Chinese 4. Japanese.

     So there I was at the counter without a clue but I couldn’t help to tell the young lady my real dilemma that I almost ran down to 7 Eleven to get my cup of coffee.
     But then I remembered the contest and it was the contest that made me choose to go to Coffee Rush. Her eyes open widely and she blurted out “John, 7 Eleven may always be around but we need your support to keep us going.” Of course I thought … Yes Coffee Rush is an excellent place to buy coffee, and you don’t have to get out of your car to get it. And yes, like so many business these day, they do need my support.
But then I wonder what if I put out a sign in front of our church that says “Come on in!! We need your support!!” Show us that you support us by choosing the correct response:

 1. Today I will humble pray and ask God to speak to me about those who I can show them His Amazing Love…today and tomorrow!!
  2. Today I will read His Word and allow it to speak to me about those principles that I need to apply to my life… today and tomorrow!!
 3. Today I will memorize, and hold on to one precious promise that God has given to me and I will seek to live it out in my life.. today and tomorrow!!
  4. Today I will set aside a portion of what God has given to me and when the offering plate is passed….I will be reminded that my offering goes to support the Work of His Kingdom here on Earth… today and tomorrow!!
So which is the correct answer for you that will show to others that you Support the Work of God? Each day there may be a new set of questions that are put before you. The correct response probably won’t win you a cup of coffee…..but your reward will be from God. He might say “Well done Good and Faithful Servant. Keep up the Good Work both today and tomorrow!! “


In Christ,
